BSP brand of political alignment seems a perfect antidote to OBC , BabuBajrangi and minority appeasement policies. The general categories aligning with Dalits can help heal the wounds of past caste suppression. I just hope Mayawati is a lot more pragmatic in providing solutions for common people and is less corrupt than others. ( can't expect her to be clean and be in power - so being corrupt is a given for politics )
